Welcome to the build of my Gardner Douglas 427. Hopefully the build will go better than my blog attempt, this will take some tweaking :)

Hood part 2

I got a couple of packets in the post which I had been waiting for. M5 thumb screws and some 19mm wardrobe pole brackets.

Next the hood brackets were sika flexed into the Wardrobe brackets before mounting them to the GRP frames which have been painted.

Before mounting back on the car masking tape was put on the bottom of the GRP to avoid scratching.

Hooks added to the screen pillar.

Metal frame attached into the angle brackets.

Masking tape around front screen before adding the front hood frame, also from the bottom of the frame on each side marked in 10mm increments to help with getting the hood spread evenly over both sides. That is everything ready to start fitting the hood but it will keep for another day :)
